PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup: Stage One Concludes, Twelve Teams Advance

The first stage of the PUBG Mobile Esports World Cup (EWC), part of the larger Gamers8 event in Saudi Arabia, has concluded. The initial field of 24 teams has been reduced to 12, setting the stage for a thrilling final showdown. These 12 teams will now compete for a share of the $3 million prize pool.

For those unfamiliar with the EWC, it's a significant esports tournament showcasing some of the world's most popular games in Saudi Arabia. PUBG Mobile's participation highlights the growing esports scene in the region.

Currently, Alliance leads the pack. The qualifying teams will enjoy a one-week respite before the final stage, scheduled for July 27th and 28th.

Global Impact and Future Events

While the EWC's overall impact on PUBG Mobile's global fanbase remains to be seen, the tournament has generated considerable buzz. It's important to note, however, that the PUBG Mobile World Cup isn't the largest event on the game's esports calendar. Other major competitions are planned for later this year, potentially overshadowing this event's long-term impact.

Meanwhile, the 12 eliminated teams will have a second chance to compete in the Survival Stage on July 23rd and 24th. Two teams will earn a spot in the final stage from this intense competition.
